Thom Yorke is a genius. Geniuses bend and venture outside of generally accepted rules through use of innate intuition and creative vision. The world is a slightly better place thanks to his music.

This is a song about the ocean and life all around him as he swims. ("Turning and somersaults.") He created this amazing, watery atmosphere with layered loops, with varying rhythms that shouldn't work together, and sings of what he sees ("a giant turtle's eyes. Jellyfish float by.") spliced with what he feels. I also think Thom is particularly proud of this one. He likes it. He's constantly revisiting and remaking it.

I think this is what Yoko Ono thought she was doing.

I'm glad there are people who love it. I'm not one of those. This is one one of the few I like from it. This is one of the best Radiohead songs in my opinion, just not a great album as a whole. One day maybe I'll get it!

Thom: ahhhhaaaaahahahaaaahAAAAH Beth: 😧

The song "Nude" From the Basement is probably his best vocal performance ever.

I wanna cry everytime I listen to his songs... He is so intense and beatiful

when you said “it’s very cinematic” i was wholeheartedly agreeing with that statement cause that’s all i feel when i listen to Thom or a Radiohead album. it’s also no coincidence that their music videos are of the same quality.

I can see it in your eyes, the melancholy and memories of hurt that the piano notes bring up and the tears you're holding back when Thom starts singing. You have a large encompassing heart

One of a kind. Enjoy him while he's here.

Love this video. Thom is an musical angel, he reaches deep into a rough ocean of human emotion, the trauma of human existence, and pulls out some sounds that you've never heard before. He creates worlds that we've all felt inside, but never sensed from any outside source, until his music.

I haven't heard this version. Beautiful to say the least.

may I suggest you some late songs, much inspiring to me kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXaIsbSzds-2lJs.html

When you said him being surrounded by life and being in the middle of it all, Bloom is supposed to sound like he’s underwater. Like he’s surrounded by the beauty in the ocean. Similar to Radiohead’s Weird Fishes/Arpeggi in the musical flourishes that sound like waves or waterfalls.

Thom Yorke has amazing vocal skills. I have been a fan since the 90s

I love the fact that she said "cinematic" when it actually was used for a movie. And "the buzz of life". And his voice being more like a continuous wave going up and down ever so smoothly, blending. I love how the music translates the feeling of the ocean so clearly.

He is my favorite musician period. I would be curious as to your take on Dawn Chorus from his new album

You're right Beth; once I read that he views his voice as one of the instruments. He handles his voice very well.

As a singer/songwriter and guitarist, it is so wonderfully refreshing to see how much the vocalists and indeed the instrumentation that you critique IMPACT you. That is the entire purpose for us; connection with others through our songs. Within seconds of this song starting you had tears swelling in your eyes, and that is so rare now to encounter. Everyone is so busy being cool and detached they miss out on so much of the experience of life and how art of any type is a reflection and commentary of and on ourselves. I sang in choirs growing up and in bands for the past 20+ years, and learned a bit about how vocals work along the way, but I am not trained and would consider myself more a "vocalist" than a singer. I'm sure you know exactly what mean by that. Your expertise is fascinating to listen to and I really enjoy seeing how much the music moves you, whether in a sad way or in an exited and inspired way. Discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm finding my interest drawn further into your content with each view. Thom Yorke is one of my heroes. Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Bruce Dickenson, many more of the artists you've made videos on as well. I'm 46, and your heavy focus on the music of my youth and young adulthood is a delight. Happily subscribed and wish you all the best.

I haven’t really discovered Radiohead until relatively recently but discovering them has been such a great experience. At first it’s a good band with some killer rock tracks and some great electronic music but as you get into it more and listen to it more you’ll love it more and more and you’ll see more and more how perfect their music is. Everything they make is thought out in so much detail and I just love everything about them

And he makes it seem so completely effortless. Thank you for this video, you've helped me understand exactly why I've loved him so much for so very long.

Finally! Love Thom Yorke and love your videos!

finally some damn radiohead in here

I luckily got to meet Thom already, since I’m very shy and felt intimidated, I really couldn’t say much... but his music is just amazing!

It seems like that masterpiece almost had her crying :)

You nailed it straight away, it's not about his technical ability but the combination of emotion and atmosphere in his voice and music, it either completely floors you or it doesn't. It gets me every time.

I am so happy to have discovered this KZread channel. It was always hard for me to explain to someone WHY I love a specific singer or a band. Now I can point to this channel. You put in words my feelings when I hear someone sing or a band play. A heartfelt thank you.

Seeing Radiohead live and growing with them has been a complete pleasure. Heard them in 1994 n followed everything they done. Each and every time I seen them, they blew me away. A special group of musicians. Beth is spot on those emotions are flowin
